I've seen this idea used previously on one of my fandoms to resounding success, and thought it might be a fun writing exercise.
Premise is fairly self-explanatory: write a story in one sentence (plus title, at your discretion)
I LOVE this idea because 1) it's short and manageable for most of us - even those who have never written before, 2) gets creative juices flowing, 3) gives life to all those ideas we may have on the back burner that may one day turn into one-shots or longer stories.
Anyone interested? I'll start below - let's give it a try!

Title: Warmth in the Storm
Silently, he looks up from his wife’s grave into her sympathetic blue eyes, and hopes she hears his gratitude for the blanket she’s draped around his shoulders.

Another (character sketch) for inspiration  Title: The Price, Perfect Max loved the wine and the service and the cuisine - ah, divine, but it wasn’t until Georg’s little governess led them all in a laughter and music filled evening that he wished he not only had the charm, but the wealth. |

These are so cool, laurynvi !! I'm reminded this one exercise one of my friends do. She searches for the word of the day and then attempts to incorporate it into what she's writing! My mind is on block right now (though it would be awesome to try it) but ahhh, again, these are really so cool! |

My mind is on block right now (though it would be awesome to try it) but ahhh, again, these are really so cool! That would be another good prompt/idea generator to try! We are always happy to help with the unblocking...  |
